hello,

I guess this is both a support question and a feature request.

SUPPORT
1) how can I get some of the fields to display as value Links. For instance, if someone is from London, Site User List module will display a plain text "London" (Members module and the core Profile module, on the other hand would convert it into a hyperlink). What I want is to display that link and wen someone clicks it, I want to display all users who are from "London". Site_User_List is an excellent module, but this added functionality would make it just perfect.

FEATURE REQUESTS
2) It woud be excellent if for each entry there would be small icons one for "Add to Buddylist" and the other for "View this User's buddies" (just like in Facebook). Other otional icons could include "Send Private Message" and "Contact by e-mail"

3) It would be great to also have an option to display which Groups each user belongs to

4) Having "View" for each entry takes too much of precious screen-space. It would be more practical to have Avatars and/or Usernames and Real names (or whichever field admin chooses) to become links to that user's profile page

5) when "Search Options" expand there is no need for yet another expansion "Contact Information". Search options should expand immediately to the actual search options that are now contained within "Contact Information"

6) There should be an option for Admin to display Seach Options and Display Options either collapsed by default or expanded by default. (For instance, I would rather display Search Options as expanded but Default options collapsed as is now)

Once again, congratulations on an excellent module. And Thank you!
For a while I was with Members module, but then decided to go with this one, even though ultimately it would be great to see some of the functionalities of Members.module (such as fields as %value hyperlinkslinks) being incorporated in Site_User_List

Hi! I'm glad you like the module.

1: You should be able to do this using the template feature. I have never used this feature of profile.module, so I don't know exactly what they would look like, but if you look at the default template for the user avatar, that should give you something to start with.

2: These could all be added by a module that implements the various hooks from site_user_list.

3: Again, this could be dealt with by a module like site_user_list_roles.

4: This is an interesting idea; I will think about it some more. There are some issues that surround it — when a user doesn't have permissions to view other user profiles, the view column doesn't get displayed; this would not be the proper behaviour for an avatar column.

5: I will look at adding some logic to handle the case of there only being one module to search by. At my site, there are always two sections (and sometimes three, depending on the user) to the search pane.

6: This is a duplicate request; someone else has already asked for this.

I should note that right now, I'm in the middle of a ton of stuff at work, and I'm also moving a bunch of stuff around in site_user_list, so new features are going to be a while.

I just want to add that I support no. 4-6 on the list - I think they would be terrific!
